Mr Lambert was right! He was either my 5th or 6th grade science teacher. This is the “education” card by the way. Mr Lambert had gotten this new stereo and he wanted to listen to it. I guess he was just so excited about it he brought it to class. I don’t remember a ton about it. My head was usually in the clouds and looking back now I can see why, especially at school. I wasn’t so grounded. Even before school I’m sure my root chakra was I’m sure just from ancestral stuff alone, not so grounded. I found it very hard to fit into the scheduling, testing, lecturing....”in a box” setting and way of learning. They wanted me to tune outwardly when I hadn’t yet fully tuned inward solidly and confidently to do this school thing successfully. I got by and I usually hid out in art rooms any chance I got....which is why I love doing hair for over 20 years now and art for forever.
Anyways back to science class and the day Mr Lambert brought his new sound system in. He played Pink Floyd for us! “We don’t need no Education”. I understood the concept only because he explained it. At first hearing the main lyrics the stories and conditioning in my mind probably made me immediately react to the song in a negative way. Like, yea of course I need education. But Wow how profound this is for me today. And it was then and the wild nature of my hippie science teacher and the amplified music and his description to go along with it certainly got my attention then too. This is one of my most treasured moments in school and probably why this card made the cut. “Education” really comes down to first nurturing that solid foundation. That is why I try my best, I’m not perfect, to always be present with Zoey. To listen and let her lead the way in a sense. I’m lucky cause she was born very wise and I had nothing to do with that. That’s why I’m always trying to be outdoors with her which reminds me I can’t believe we’ve not been camping in over a year. But to set the stage and we can do it for ourselves at any point in time, at any age, we are still all children. But feel into who we truly are at our core of self with no one telling us who we are or should be. We have so much within us.
